RevAir is designed to dry, stretch, smooth, and lengthen all hair types in less than half the time of traditional blow dryer / flat iron combinations. (Yes, we did say HALF the time.) Our patented technology dries hair in the natural direction of the cuticle (downward) to lock out frizz and seal in shine. And since it uses low heat, it won’t burn up your hair either. Faster, easier, healthier styling? Yes, please!

Dry and straighten hair with less damage
on April 29, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
I was very excited to try this new technology for styling my hair. I am constantly using a blow dryer and a flat iron because I like my hair straight (my natural hair is curly), so I was happy to find a method of straightening it with less damage. It works really great on my hair! My sister also tried it out, and it worked well, although it took more time because she has longer and curlier hair. In comparison to the blow dryer or flat iron, however, I would say it takes slightly less time. This dryer works like a vacuum: it suctions your hair, but you have to separate it in small sections. You don't need to use a brush like with the other hair dryers. I pass it through my hair a few times - around five times per section - from all the way up to the roots.
It is important to note the size of this air dryer. It is big and heavy, which is the only thing I don't really like about it. It is not something you can take anywhere, but it works great if you are going to keep it in a fixed place. Another thing to keep in mind is that it has many parts to it, and it's very different from a typical hair dryer. Once you get the hang of it, though, it is a great way to style your hair so that it won't damage with so much heat. Overall, I am satisfied with the product and pleased to have tried it out!

Great computer for school
on April 21, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
As a student, having a reliable laptop is a must. This is my first Acer laptop, but I decided to try it out because it seemed like it would fit my needs. The set-up was quick and simple - I was done syncing it to my existing account and phone within minutes (You do have to download an app to link up to your phone). I also enjoy the touch-screen feature! The laptop is quite big, but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be considering it's size. I do like the big screen, though, because it allows me to have a clear view when working on any projects and for entertainment when I am watching videos or movies. I was very excited when I saw that the laptop comes with a focus feature which you can connect to your Microsoft To-Do list and Spotify account. This feature is a timer that you set for a “focus session” so that you can get your tasks done and avoid distractions for a period of time. I find this method of working/studying to be super effective and it feels so rewarding when I am able to finish things that I need to do. Moreover, the laptop has a long battery-life and I also love how lengthy the charger is! It comes with more than enough memory space to store various files, presentations, and videos. I do wish the volume of the laptop was a little louder, but it quickly connects to my speaker via Bluetooth so that I can play music/movies on it and enjoy a large screen and sufficient volume. Overall, I am happy with how easy it is to use and with all the great features it comes with.

Easy to use and convenience of in app recipes
on April 19, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This air fryer is a healthier way to cook food, especially traditionally cooked with a lot of oil. With it, cooking requires very little to almost no cooking oil, and you can even make it better by using healthier oils, like olive or avocado. The Cosori has many functions on the front panel, making cooking more effortless. For the presets button, turn on the unit, select the preset needed, adjust temperature and time, and press start. Also, if you are using the app (smart Wi-Fi) following the recipe (with video clips of each step), you can choose via smartphone when to start and end; you get a notification of the cooking process. My favorite preset/option is to make bacon because it gets cooked evenly without being burnt, and you don’t have to worry about oil splashing everywhere. Any oil in the air fryer keeps contained, so there is no more messy stove top. The external dimension, 10.75-inch wide x 12-inch height x 12-inch depth, does make this product convenient to store and use over any countertop. The measurement of the inner basket is 9 in x 9 in x 3.5in. The power cord is long enough, 3 feet long, to reach most kitchen plugs. Cleaning the outer and inner baskets is easy with regular dish soap and water. To make it easier for the cleaning process, I reheat the dirty empty baskets for a couple of minutes, and all the burnt food items/greasy come out very quickly with paper towels. And then I wash it with soap and water.
I also tried making “fried” sweet plantains - a favorite in my home - and it turned out so good!! I cut the plantains into slices, put them in the air fryer, and added just a bit of oil. I shook it once to let them thoroughly cook, and they were ready within minutes! I loved it because it saved me time and oil. Overall, this is a good air fryer with a feature that works with a smartphone to help you cook healthier food with easy-to-follow recipes. In the long run, you will be healthier and save money from eating out and using less oil for cooking meals.

Very good precision trimming
on January 28, 2023
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This Norelco 7000 is a perfect multi-groom device for the face, head, and body. It has a dual-cut blade that is great for maximum precision grooming and functions as a self-sharpening. The stainless steel handle feels good on your hand, with rubber on the grip end. The primary metal trimmer attachment works for face and body trimming needs. For head trimming, it comes with an extra wide trimming attachment to help capture more hair for each stroke. The kit has a quarter-inch steel precision trimmer attachment for detailed styles and type laces. All the plastic guards are strong and don’t bend easily to ensure safety and even trim every time. I like cleaning this multi-groom because the trimmer and all the attachments are faucet washable. Additional accessories include the nose and ear trimmer, a small cleaning brush, a storage bag, and a USB-A charging cable. The kit does not include the charging adapter, but most homes have at least one from other devices or mobile phones. The lithium-ion battery is good since it gives about five (5) hours of cordless use. The trimmer can’t be used while it is plugged in (charging). This Norelco multi-groom is impressive, with premium quality and precision trimming. The blades are sharp, and I can feel them because it trims smoothly. Overall, this multi-groom is simple to use, quality made, and does a great job at trimming.

Great print quality and speed
on December 30, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This tank inkjet printer exceeds my expectations for quality, quantity, and speed printing. Installing the software/app, doing the setup, and filling the tank reservoir with the four ink colors were easy, and it took less than 30 minutes. The ink refill bottles are color-coded and designed only to fit the correct ink color, with no chance of mixing colors. The small and straightforward control panel is not a touch-screen control.
Printing in black/white and color is high quality with sharp and detailed pints. If you use photo paper, your images come out looking very nice. I have used matte and gloss paper; all pictures come without smears. There are no smudge prints, even photo prints. The back feeding tray accepts standard-size paper and most envelopes.
I have used it for some time and have had no connection or print issues. After many prints, the ink level on the tanks is still very high. Being an All-In-One printer, it is surprising that it is small and very lightweight, which is excellent if you need to move it around. I am glad I got this high-quality ink tank reservoir and fast printer.

Complete DIY Security System with Monitoring
on November 21, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
SimpliSafe is a popular DIY home security system with indoor and outdoor cameras and 24 hours/7-day monitoring service. I had a traditional BASIC (without cameras) home security monitoring service with another company, but I discontinued the service because they wanted to increase the price and wanted a 3-year contract. I am glad that SimpliSafe is a better option because it provides the same monitoring service and uses a camera for video verification, reducing false alarms almost to zero. The monitoring response center uses the video verification option to view live video to confirm an actual security issue to provide a quicker response to the first responder. They only have video access if there is an alarming activity to view the area and determine if it is a false or actual emergency.
The other company uses cellular to communicate with the base station. SimpliSafe uses my home internet and has cellular backup, so there will be no security interruption. The best part about SimpliSafe is that there is no contract commitment, and I can cancel and restart my monitoring service anytime. They have three types of service with different prices. (1) Interactive monitoring plus video evidence to verify the alarm. (2) Standard provides monitoring but does not verify if an alarm is real. (3) Self Monitoring with Camera Recording, notifying users of the system alerts, plus 30-days of video footage for all your cameras. This security system package includes everything to replace my older system except for the smoke detector (sold separately). Additional devices and sensors: like smoke, CO, smart lock, water sensor, temperature, extra loud siren, and video doorbell,which are all sold separately and may be added to the system and controlled by the SimpliSafe app/control panel. For my system, I will purchase two smoke detectors, two water sensors to protect against flood damage and an additional siren.
This system is 100% DIY, and the installation is easy. All devices come with sticky pads that are strong enough for easy placement. If desired, there is the option to use screws (included) on the brackets to attach the sensors. All sensors are easy to move around if needed. Using the SimpliSafe app, connect first the base station to your home Wi-Fi. All devices, sensors, and the app are well-designed and work together. Overall, I am satisfied with SimpliSafe. It has plenty of features and a wide range of options for personal customization, giving you the best possible control over how you want your system to protect you. It works reliably to provide peace of mind against fire, flood, and home intrusions.
Their monthly professional monitoring service is worth it. You get both Wi-Fi connectivity with cellular backup, and most importantly, it dramatically reduces false alarms to almost zero using video verification. If you move to another house, you can take your system and reprogram it in your new location without incurring professional installation expenses or buying a new system. There is a wide range of sensors to customize your system to your specific need. SimpliSafe is the best DIY system with a professional monitoring service. The monitor service may also get you a discount on your home insurance.

Excellent Heat/Motion Detection Technology
on November 18, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
This security camera with floodlight is good and has exceptional motion/heat detection technology. The security camera is 65 feet away from my router, and the Wi-Fi connectivity works very well. The lights are 2600 lumen brightness, are very powerful, and are dimmable if you which to decrease brightness. The 4K video is excellent, and the color night vision gives a good image. The angle of view is 115° wide, which is more than what I need in my front door entrance. This wide angle of view makes this floodlight ideal for placement on the sides of buildings or houses. The device lights up large areas very well. The device uses motion and heat trigger sensing, which makes the detection work all the time. This TrueDetect technology avoids alerts and recording of moving tree branches or leaves. All important activities always get recorded, and I receive instant alerts via the app.
One can set the floodlights' intensity level and have the siren produce a sound. With the app, you also have the option to turn on/off the floodlight and the siren. The talk and listen 2-way audio is great for greeting guests or warning intruders.
The 2-way talk feature has a decent volume, and I can hear all noise from the camera's mic. For the most part, I will use my smart doorbell camera to speak to people at my front door instead of this device.
A smartphone or tablet controls the security camera; not sure if it is accessible through a website. Local via a 32GB Micro SD card and cloud storage (optional for additional charges). There is a monitoring service for an additional charge as well. The design and adjustable lights heads and camera made this device easy to install and adjust it. I did a ceiling mount using a recessed light converter kit on an existing recessed light. It took me about 20 to attach the recessed light converter and install the Swann floodlight security camera. Overall, I am satisfied with the security camera, super strong lights, good image quality, and excellent heat/motion detector. I like the simplified app; not complicated to pair and use.

From simple tweaks to advanced artistic options and adjustments, it’s never been easier to create photos you’ll love to share. Bring motion to your photos with Adobe Sensei AI*, add peek-through overlays, and showcase your photos with new collage and slideshow templates. Plus, go beyond your desktop with new web and mobile companion apps (English-only beta), and enjoy faster installation and performance plus Apple M1 chip support. You’ll find all your photo essentials in this easy picture editor.
Posted by: SimpleLiving
It has been over 15 years since I used dedicated editing software, and I am glad I have now started editing photos again using Adobe Photoshop Element. I don’t need high-end photo editing, so this product works perfectly. I use it at work and for some school projects. It is straightforward to use, and you can learn more by watching online videos that teach how to use its editing tools/features. My favorite holiday season editing is the Guided edits, the “Peak Through Overlay,” in which one can add an illusion of depth of feel with a peak through the overlay. Some of the overlays in the program that can be added to two or more corners of your images are leaves, flowers, branches with snow, Christmas tree branches with covered snow, fall leaves, and string light. I edited one of my sample photos with fall leaves overlays on top corners, added a blur, and applied a vignette. A fun editing Guide is the “Pattern Effect,” which allows patterns to be added to images, such as hearts, stars, sparkles, swirls, leaves, clouds, clouds, and dog footprint clip art. A nice feature that I like is the moving elements, which allow the ability to do some animation in images. With just a few clicks, one selects an area to add motion, e.g., sky, background, or manual selection, the program does a good job selecting an area, but you might want to add some missed ones by refining the selection add or subtract. Lastly, you click and drag the cursor on the image to specify the desired direction of the motion. If you selected the sky/ cloud as the animation, the effect would be moving clouds. If you like the result, export the image as an MP4 video. Photoshop Element is excellent if you want a fast and easy editing program with many options. The program runs well and loads images reasonably fast. Overall, I am satisfied with this new editing software.

Capturing moments is important. But, it’s also not always easy. Being the family photographer often requires you to pause the moment, asking everybody to pose, making sure everyone is in the frame, and even if all that goes well the person behind the camera doesn’t get to be in the picture. Canon PICK changes all this and more. By ensuring that you record experiences as they happen organically, genuinely. No posing, no pausing—just candid memories that can last forever.PICK's unique algorithm has been years in the making, with a dedicated app to get the image just right. It will automatically* search for faces and smiles while adjusting the composition of the frame with its Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) mechanism. The camera captures and records moments while you’re enjoying them and you don’t have to do anything, no timers, no clicking, no posing—just living in the moment.

Great versatile camera
on November 15, 2022
Posted by: SimpleLiving
In the past, I used to be an amateur photographer and devoted a lot of time to artistic, events, and personal photography. Knowledgeable with single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, my favorite devices were Canon. They make high-quality devices that always give you the best images. After 15 years, those devices still work, and I can still use them to produce high-quality images. In any event, one drawback of being a photographer is that you are not fully involved in the event because your eyes are focused on the viewfinder or just looking to capture joyful moments. Now, this cute and robotic-like looking Canon PowerShot Pick does help anyone who likes to take pictures and at the same time be involved with what is happening. It is fully automated; it moves 360° from side to side and up/down to get different views and orientations. It has artificial intelligence (AI) to catch the incredible and lively moments happening. It does a great job looking at and detecting faces, movements, and actions, and it records various images to capture them.
All of the features make this camera versatile. If you are going out with friends or family, you can set it in the center, like the coffee table, and it will do its own thing to capture joyful moments. If you are an online influencer (content creator), for videos and photos, the device tracks your facial reactions, follows your around, and is voice-activated.
Set-up is quick and easy using the Canon MiniPTZ app. The device connects to a smartphone, tablet, or computer using BlueTooth or Wi-Fi. The app lets you live view, download images or video from the Pick to your mobile phone/table, move the camera around and adjust settings. The image and audio quality are good. There is no light or flash on the camera. It is battery-operated and portable but is not water-resistant. The base of the device has a tripod socket which allows it to mount on a tripod and top a DSLR camera shot shoe slot using a tripod screw to hot shoe adapter. It will also work with a point-and-shoot camera with a hot shoe slot. While photo-taking with your primary camera, the Pick will simultaneously give you images or videos of a different perspective of an event. This option is excellent for weddings, quinceaneras, or other important events. As a dedicated photographer, having this device on top of your primary camera will give your more options for your clients. It uses USB-C charging port, which is excellent for the environment and handles fast charging, which is a big time saver.
It is like having your how little personal photographer. If you are always a photo taker, the best part of the PowerShot Pick is you can enjoy events and not be behind the camera. This device will capture a lot of the things that one might miss. Overall, this camera is excellent for photographers, content creators, or anyone who doesn’t like to miss lively moments.
All of the features make this camera versatile. If you are going out with friends or family, you can set it in the center, like the coffee table, and it will do its own thing to capture joyful moments. If you are an online influencer (content creator), for videos and photos, the device tracks your facial reactions, follows your around, and is voice-activated.
Set-up is quick and easy using the Canon MiniPTZ app. The device connects to a smartphone, tablet, or computer using BlueTooth or Wi-Fi. The app lets you live view, download images or video from the Pick to your mobile phone/table, move the camera around and adjust settings. The image and audio quality are good. There is no light or flash on the camera. It is battery-operated and portable but is not water-resistant. The base of the device has a tripod socket which allows it to mount on a tripod and top a DSLR camera shot shoe slot using a tripod screw to hot shoe adapter. It will also work with a point-and-shoot camera with a hot shoe slot. While photo-taking with your primary camera, the Pick will simultaneously give you images or videos of a different perspective of an event. This option is excellent for weddings, quinceaneras, or other important events. As a dedicated photographer, having this device on top of your primary camera will give your more options for your clients. It uses USB-C charging port, which is excellent for the environment and handles fast charging, which is a big time saver.
It is like having your how little personal photographer. If you are always a photo taker, the best part of the PowerShot Pick is you can enjoy events and not be behind the camera. This device will capture a lot of the things that one might miss. Overall, this camera is excellent for photographers, content creators, or anyone who doesn’t like to miss lively moments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Turtle Beach Stream Mic is the first professional desktop microphone created for gamers streaming directly from their Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as from a PC or Mac. The Stream Mic features Adaptive Mic Patterns, customizable software, a dual-capsule mic array with advanced digital processing, and a zero-latency headphone output so anyone can stream like a pro.
How many usb cords does the mic come with and where do the need to be plugged in
It comes with only one (1) USB cord and it is about 10ft long, which is long enough for most setups. The cord is not braided but it is durable quality.

Do you just plug it into your xbox or how do you install it
The setup is relatively easy, just connect one end of the USB (included with mic) to the mic and the other to the Xbox. This mic work great on the XBox, it is compatible.

This mic says that you can use it with the xbox, but it is not clear on whether or not it will work to capture my audio when I stream from my xbox one x onto mixer. Will this work to carry audio to mixer for me stream or is it used for party chat only?
The Turtle Beach Stream mic does work great with XBox onto Mixer. I had no issue using this mic on the Xbox One.

If I plug this into my Xbox will the sound still come from my TV or will I need to purchase a headset?
You can attach connect a headphone to the Stream mic. I find it very useful the feature to connect your headphones to the mic which makes it very simple so that your hand does tangle with your headphones. This setup is a lot better than having the headphones connected to the Xbox controller.

What's a broom stick and pop filter? I saw in one of the answer you said a broom stick and pop filter will make this mic better?
The boom stick/arm/stand allows for the mic to be floating on top of your desk and not directly on the desk/table. This will reduce the noise produced from your keyboard or other device being capture by the microphone. The pop filter is to improve the voice quality. The stream mic is great, try it without the other accessories first before buying the other stuff.

I plan on buying this to set it up on a boom arm. Do I need to buy a usb extension cable or is the one provided long enough?
The USB cable is about 10ft long, see submitted images. It is long enough for most setup and it feels like high quality.

Just had this tv delivered yesterday and its $30 cheaper today can I get a credit
Yes. It is in their PriceMatch policy: "If we lower our in-store or online price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."
Also, since Best Buy store prices aren't always the same as the BestBuy.com (online) prices, it is good to know that they also do price match between those two: " We match BestBuy.com prices on in-store purchases and in-store prices on BestBuy.com purchases." In respect to Price Match, I like Best Buy because they don't give you an issue compared to other stores.
Conclusion, if you within the return period you can get back the difference between what you paid and the cheaper price.
Do it fast and good luck.
